Det är inte roligt att stå och bulta längre Katinka. Månen lyser och världen gå, och de frusna stjärnorna blinka. Min knoge är rod, min näsa blå. Seså, lyft nu på dörrens klinka. Glänta på dörrn och låt mig få tak över huvudet, din slinka. Du skall duka ett bord med små förgyllda koppar som vinka, öl och brännvin och ost för två och så en fet och rykande skinka.

Ce n'est pas amusant d'être là à frapper chez Katinka. La lune brille et le monde tourne, et les étoiles glacées scintillent. Ma cheville est rouge, mon nez bleu. Allez, lève le loquet de la porte. Entrouvre la porte et laisse-moi trouver asile, fille de joie. Tu dois dresser une table avec de petites tasses dorées qui brillent, de la bière et de l'eau-de-vie et du fromage pour deux et puis un jambon gras et fumé.
